I'm looking for a workshop on planning digital exhibits (from budgeting
for, writing a proposal for and executing)--that makes use of virtual
reality, and uses either GIS or GPS mapping technology. Does anyone
know of such an upcoming workshop? Possibly something that would be
offered at SIGGRAPH--I'm sure those of you who read this will know what
I'm talking about.

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) presents:
SMALL CASES, BIG IDEAS: PLANNING EXHIBITIONS
Philadelphia, PA - December 5, 2006
Cosponsored by:
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
Held at:
Historic Landmark Building, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
About the Workshop
Exhibitions are integral to the mission of museums, historic houses,
historical societies, and to archives and libraries as these
institutions strive to showcase their collections. Quality exhibits
reflect the good stewardship activities that take place behind the
scenes in cultural institutions and allow organizations to interpret
their collections to the public.
While exhibitions are essential in assisting institutions in fulfilling
their missions, they can also be time consuming, expensive, and
potentially damaging to artifacts. This workshop is designed to assist
institutions in coordinating the many activities that are part of
planning small to medium sized exhibitions.
Local exhibit designers, curators, and conservators will discuss exhibit
development, the process of working with a designer, and preservation
considerations when mounting exhibitions. Concepts will be illustrated
through case studies that range from small case exhibits to art
installations and historic interiors.
